Stage 6 loadshedding is here – here’s how to stay powered

South Africans are no strangers to load shedding, but stage 6 marks a serious escalation in the country’s energy crisis. With power cuts stretching up to 8 hours per day, the need for reliable, affordable backup power has never been more urgent.

So what exactly does stage 6 mean—and how can you protect your home or business from the chaos?

What is stage 6 loadshedding?

Stage 6 load shedding removes around 6,000 megawatts from the grid. Practically speaking, this means up to three 2-hour or 4-hour outages per day, depending on your area.

Eskom implements stage 6 to prevent a total grid collapse—but it also causes:

1. Lost productivity for businesses

2. Food spoilage and appliance damage in homes

3. Major disruptions to remote work, security, and daily life

These aren’t minor inconveniences—they’re costly, stressful, and unnecessary if you’re prepared.

Loadshedding - Solar + battery = full protection

At MOWZA Solar, we’ve built custom systems designed to keep you powered during every stage of loadshedding—including stage 6.

Here’s how we do it:

✅ 1. Solar panels

Generate your own clean energy from the sun—especially effective in sunny South African climates.

✅ 2. Battery storage

Store solar energy during the day and use it at night or during blackouts. Lithium-ion batteries provide long-lasting, seamless backup.

✅ 3. Hybrid inverter

Our smart inverters automatically switch between grid, battery, and solar to give you the most efficient, cost-effective power source at all times.
